Meet The Makers

Through her recipe blog Land of 10,000 Recipes, instructional cooking videos on social media, and as a Guest Chef on Twin Cities Live, Jenna Gorman shares her love of food and cooking together. 

Smith + Trade now has three brick and mortar storefronts connecting local makers, growers and doers with community locals and curious tourists. The original Stillwater store celebrates its connection to the St. Croix River from its Main Street perch. The northern Crosby store has a more rustic feel that fits in with the relaxed north woods cabin vibes. The Red Wing store celebrates its river influence with a modern vintage feel. 

“I started seeing images as shapes. Looking at a photograph as a whole and then wondering what else it could be by ripping it apart is an exciting way to approach art,” reflects Nate Reiman of Minneapolis’s 4iphoto. “Rebuilding those ripped apart images opens up visual worlds that question what we see.” 

“At its heart, Rolling Forks Vineyards is still about the same thing it was from the beginning: bringing people together around Minnesota wine, beautiful surroundings, and memorable experiences,” shares Melanie. “From the vineyard rows to the finished bottle, it’s a tangible result of patience, craftsmanship, and the seasons.”
